instant pot - rice pudding

• 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 litre 2% milk
• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups skim milk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup raisins (optional)

In the Instant Pot, combine rice, sugar, salt, 2% milk and first quantity of skim milk.

Select Sauté function and bring contents to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, cover and lock lid in place.

Select Manual or Pressure Cook function on the Instant Pot. Set cooking time for 16 minutes. While rice is cooking, whisk eggs with second portion of skim milk and vanilla. When the cooking is finished, NPR for 10 minutes and then QR (you may have to do a Controlled QR if there is still lots of pressure in your IP). Stir the rice in pot.

Temper the milk/egg mixture with some of the milk from the Instant Pot, then stir the egg mixture into the pot. Select Sauté and cook uncovered until mixture just starts to boil.

Turn off your Instant Pot. Additional milk may be added if mixture is too thick. Stir in raisins.

Serve immediately, or pour into serving dishes cool then chill.

Recipe Hints

• The pudding will thicken as it cools, so you may want to add a little extra milk if you’re serving it cold.
• You can heat up the rice pudding in the microwave to take the chill out if it has been sitting in the fridge. If you didn't already add extra half and half, you can do that (or add a bit of milk) before you heat it up.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to each serving
